SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 2, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture (WBF) from China.\1\
After receiving multiple review requests,\2\ Commerce initiated this
review.\3\ In March and April 2024, various companies/company groupings
submitted no shipment certifications.\4\ Also in March and April 2024,
various companies filed separate rate applications or certifications,
along with responses to Commerce's quantity and value questionnaire and
certain additional information requested in a document package on
Commerce's website. In May and June 2024, interested parties timely

On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this

Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the preliminary results of
this review until February 6, 2025.\7\ On December 9, 2024, Commerce
tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by an
additional 90 days.\8\ The deadline for the preliminary results of this

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is WBF, subject to certain
exceptions. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
Appendix I.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.213.
[[Page 20457]]
Additionally, given that the analysis underlying these preliminary
results of review are contained herein, no decision memoranda accompany
this Federal Register notice.
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a
review, withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of publication
of the notice of initiation of the requested review in the Federal
Register. Interested parties timely withdrew all review requests for 25
companies/company groupings for which Commerce initiated this review.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is
rescinding this review of the Order with respect to all the companies/
company groupings listed in appendix II.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(a), ``{g{time} enerally, the amount of
duties to be assessed is determined in a review of the order covering a
discrete period of time.'' Thus, normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, suspended entries of subject merchandise are
liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the
review period.\9\ Therefore, in order to apply the final antidumping
duty liability that was determined in an administrative review for a
particular company, there must be at least one suspended entry of that
company's subject merchandise that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the antidumping duty
assessment rate calculated for the review period. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), Commerce may rescind an administrative review if it
concludes that, during the period covered by the review, there were no
entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise, as the case may
be.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\10\ See, e.g., Dioctyl Terephthalate from the Republic of
Korea: Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2021-2022,
88 FR 24758 (April 24, 2023); see also Certain Carbon and Alloy
Steel Cut- to Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany:
Recission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR
4157 (January 24, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the entry data that we obtained from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) showed no suspended entries of subject
merchandise from the nine companies identified in Appendix III, on
January 6, 2025, we notified parties of our intent to rescind this
administrative review with respect to those companies.\11\ No one
commented on our intent to rescind this review with respect to these
companies. Therefore, in the absence of any suspended entries of
subject merchandise during the POR from the companies listed in
Appendix III, we are rescinding this administrative review with respect
to these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, In
Part,'' dated January 6, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
In the Initiation Notice, we informed parties that all firms for
which a non-market economy (NME) review was initiated that wished to
qualify for separate rate status must complete, as appropriate, either
a separate rate application or a separate rate certification.\12\ While
Shenzhen New Fudu Furniture Co., Ltd. claimed that it ``made no
exports, sales, shipments, or entries of any subject merchandise . . .
during the . . . period of review,'' \13\ record evidence contradicts
this claim, namely CBP entry data.\14\ Shenzhen New Fudu Furniture Co.,
Ltd. failed to comment on this evidence or provide a separate rate
application or certification. Therefore, Commerce preliminarily
determines that New Fudu Furniture Co., Ltd. failed to demonstrate that
it qualifies for separate rate status, and thus is part of the China-
wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Initiation Notice, 89 FR at 15827.
\13\ See Shenzhen New Fudu Furniture Co. Ltd.'s No Shipments
Letter.
\14\ See Memorandum, ``No Shipment Inquiry'' dated September 19,
2024; see also Memorandum, ``Release of U.S. Customs and Border
Patrol Entry Summary Documentation,'' dated November 27, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, CBP entry data for the POR show no entries of subject
merchandise from the following seven companies for which Commerce
initiated this review and which do not have a separate rate: (1)
Dorbest Ltd.; (2) Fine Furniture (Shanghai) Ltd.; (3) Rui Feng Lumber
Development Co., Ltd.; (4) Rui Feng Woodwork Co., Ltd.; (5) Wanvog
Furniture (Kunshan) Co., Ltd.; (6) Yeh Brothers World Trade Inc.; and
(7) Zhongshan Fookyik Furniture Co., Ltd.
Because there were no entries of subject merchandise from these
companies during the POR for Commerce to examine in this administrative
review, and these companies did not have a separate rate, these
companies remain in the China-wide entity.
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\15\ Under this policy,
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity,
the entity is not under review and the weighted-average dumping margin
assigned to the China-wide entity is not subject to change as a result
of this administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to parties to the proceeding the
calculations that it performed in connection with a preliminary results
of review within five days of any public announcement or, if there is
no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of
the notice of preliminary results of review in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce did not
calculate any dumping margins in this review, there are no calculations
to disclose.
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested parties
to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days after the
date of the publication of this notice.\16\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to
issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days
after the date for filing case briefs.\17\ Interested parties who
submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this review must submit: (1) a
table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of
authorities.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
\18\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public,
executive summary for each
[[Page 20458]]
issue raised in their briefs.\19\ Further, we request that interested
parties limit their executive summary of each issue to no more than 450
words, not including citations. We intend to use the executive
summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues
and decision memorandum that will accompany the final results in this
administrative review. We request that interested parties include
footnotes for relevant citations in the executive summary of each
issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements
pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\20\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) the requesting party's name,
address, and telephone number; (2) the number of individuals associated
with the requesting party that will attend the hearing and whether any
of those individuals is a foreign national; and (3) a list of the
issues the party intends to discuss at the hearing. Issues raised in
the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case
briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold
the hearing at a date and time to be determined. An electronically
filed hearing request must be received successfully in its entirety by
Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time
within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Assessment Rate
Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this
review.\21\ We will instruct CBP to liquidate POR entries of subject
merchandise exported by the companies/company groupings for which we
rescinded the review at the cash deposit rate required at the time of
entry or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). We will issue this instruction to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we do not alter these preliminary results of review, we intend
to instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise exported by
the companies that failed to qualify for a separate rate at the China-
wide entity rate. We will issue this instruction to CBP no earlier than
35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register.
If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International
Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate
relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for
statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication of the notice of the final results of this
administrative review in the Federal Register as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for any previously investigated or
reviewed China or non-China exporter that has a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the exporter's existing cash deposit
rate; (2) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that do not
have a separate rate, including those exporters that failed to
establish their separate rate eligibility in this review, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the dumping margin assigned to the China-
wide entity, which is 216.01 percent; and (3) for all non-China
exporters of subject merchandise that do not have a separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will be equal to the dumping margin applicable to the
China exporter(s) that supplied that non-China exporter. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of its analysis of issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs, within
120 days of publication of these preliminary results of review in the
Federal Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 351.221(b)(4).

Further, as determined in the scope ruling memorandum, ``Wooden
Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China: Scope Ruling
on a White Toy Box,'' dated July 6, 2009, the dimensional ranges

which attach to the metal wall frame and/or the metal mattress frame
to form a cabinet to enclose the wall bed when not in use. Excluded
enclosable wall bed units are imported in ready to assemble format
with all parts necessary for assembly. Enclosable wall bed units do
not include a mattress. Wood panels of enclosable wall bed units,
